Making the Transition from Pencil & Paper

Paper-based testing is a tried and true method that has worked successfully in the past. However, many certifying and licensing bodies are facing the increasing need to adopt computer-based testing (CBT). For some, technology advancements in their field requires the transition. While others, are simply trying to keep up with best practices in delivering their exams, while trying to meet examinee expectations.

Regardless of the reason, the trend is clearly in the direction of CBT. When evaluating the transition to CBT a number of practical considerations need to be taken into account:

Scalability of the solution - are there enough seats to test my examinee pool, easily

Security of the solution - can I test when and where I want, without sacrificing item bank security or exam integrity

Reliability of the solution - am I testing on a proven technology with dependable sites

Functionality of the solution - does this solution provide me with the in-depth item/exam creation, scoring, and analysis tools that I need

Complexity of the solution - will this be easy for my staff to use

Support for the solution - who will help me, my team, and my examinees when we have questions
